Russo to the island, City Center gets greener, city services take a holiday (City Hall Scene)

Obviously the big news coming out of City Hall this week is the pending exit of City Attorney John Russo. Russo is headed across the bridge — to Alameda. With his almost certain exit, however, comes a host of questions.

First and foremost is what will happen to the gang injunction push that was spearheaded by Russo. Although the Fruitvale case will likely go on (and on), the drive to expand gang injunction in the city may stall out without a lead voice justifying costs and personnel needed to enforce an injunction measure.
